Mont De Marsan Tips and Racecourse Guide
Mont-De-Marsan is the capital of the Landes region and as well as being a dual-purpose racecourse, it is known for being home to a formidable training centre, which has produced a number of Group One winners. There is also an AFASEC racing school on site.
Mont-De-Marsan hosts around 12 race meetings a year from February through to November. The main action is on the flat, but there is also a spectacular cross country course for the jumpers.
Trainers based at Mont-De-Marsan include Didier Guillemin (won 2017 Group One Al Quoz Sprint with The Right Man), Philippe Sogorb (won 2013 Group One Cheveley Park Stakes with Vorda) and Xavier Thomas-Demeaulte (won 2016 Group Two Rockfel Stakes with Spain Burg).
In 2021 the Tour de France passed through Mont De Marsan.

Marlene Meyer did us a favour when winning on Artemiss last week and I’m backing her to continue her good start to the year on foreign raider Nathan at Mont-de-Marsan this afternoon (12.40pm).
The selection hasn’t been in form in recent starts, but that is the case with the vast majority of the field and Nathan is returning to the scene of his sole career success to date, when winning with plenty to spare in a 1m2f handicap in October off a mark of 29.
A return to that form would give him a huge chance in this, and the return to soft turf after three runs on the AW is undoubtedly in his favour. Gaspar Vaz has won with two of his last four runners and Nathan is a big enough price to take a chance on, on what is just his second start for the yard.
12.40pm Mont de Marsan – 1pt win Nathan @ 7-1 (most firms)

Mont-de-Marsan Horse Racing Tips Today – 16/12
I'll make this brief, as the race is off in just over half an hour. The 3yo hurdle at Mont-de-Marsan (10.55am) doesn't look anything special and it's worth taking a chance on newcomer Rodaviva at what is too big a price. Francois Nicolle's representative has...

Mont-de-Marsan Horse Racing Tips Today – 16/07 Pt 2
A big field for the fillies’ maiden at Mont-de-Marsan (10.35am), but it isn’t particularly strong on quality, and favourite Le Houlme is an eight-race maiden coming into this. There are a few in reasonable form, but the bar is not set high and Biologique looks a good...

An early start in the provinces this weekend - the first race at Mont De Marsan was off at 8.30am local time! There are two races for races on the card for Anglo Arab horses and half the entries for those are supplied by either Xavier Thomas-Demeaulte or Christelle...
French Racing Tips – 12/03
The 1m4f maiden at Mont-de-Marsan features four with a decent level of form for a provincial maiden, but we'll take a chance on Crypto on her first start of 2022. She was third here on debut over 1m2f in September, on similarly testing ground, and was noted staying on...
French Racing Tips – 28/02
There have already been a few nibbles at the price, but the 15/2 on offer remains excellent value for Tequila Sun in the cross-country at Mont de Marsan this morning. The nine year old is 5-19 in this sphere, but that becomes 3-4 when focusing on this track alone, and...
French Racing Tips – 28 September
The early card at Mont de Marsan looks a little tricky, but I am keen on the chances of Gagnesiry, who should go very well in the mile handicap (1.42pm). Didier Guillemin has already got a win out of the three year old this season, at Tarbes in June, but she went...
French Racing Tips – 16 September
The 1m4f class 2 at Mont de Marsan (11.45am) is far from the strongest race for the grade and I'm not convinced about the strength of the recent winning form of the likes of favourite Dakini (who nevertheless deserves consideration) and Mamluk. In contrast, Cape...
Today’s French Racing Tips – 13/03/21
The main meeting today is at Auteuil and we will have a bet on the card later, but there is one to get us started this morning, in the claiming chase at Mont-de-Marsan (10.20am). It is a desperately weak race and it is easy enough to pick holes in all of them, but at...
